Before we went on that cruise, we spent the night in Galveston.  It was eerie to see the change.  Many things on the seawall looked fine, but all of the piers that used to stick out in the water are heavily damaged.  There are still many debris piles and some boats stuck on land.  We drove down the road where most of the newer beach houses were.  Many looked undamaged from the outside, but the  "view" didn't look right.  The dunes that used to block the beach from the residences are gone.  Older houses are greatly damaged.  When we drove off the seawall to where actual residents live, things looked really bad.  Work was still being done with debris still in front of their houses, as I mentioned before.

Here you see an example of one of the houses that seems virtually un-repairable.

And here is a grounded boat.
